For 25 years, Lewis's Child and Adolescent Psychiatry has been the cornerstone of every child and adolescent psychiatrist’s library. Now, three colleagues of Dr. Lewis at the world-renowned Yale Child Study Center, have substantially updated and revised this foundational textbook for its long-awaited fifth edition, the first in ten years. Encyclopedic in scope, it continues to serve as a broad reference, deftly encompassing and integrating scientific principles, research methodologies, and everyday clinical care.

The Study Guide is made up of approximately 270 questions divided into 49 individual quizzes of 5-8 questions each that correspond to chapters in the textbook. Questions are followed by an answer guide that references relevant text in the textbook to allow quick access to needed information.

This book presents a representative sample of multiple-choice questions, with answers and explanations, for preparing to take the various subspecialty examinations offered in child and adolescent psychiatry, which include the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology certification and in-training (PRITE) exams. All content is drawn from the most popular text on the subject: Lewis's Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Fourth Edition (2007), edited by Andrés Martin and Fred R. Volkmar of the Yale Child Study Center and published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. Following the explanation for each answer, page references in the Lewis text direct readers to information validating the response. Two chapters address test-taking strategies and tips.
